Kerstin was originally from outside Leipzig in Saxony, East Germany. She came to the US with her family for her husband's work in 1996 and became a US citizen last month. Kerstin holds the value of equality dearly and and is presently pursuing a Master's Degree in Public Health. She hopes to work with existing systems to improve access to health care for all Mainers and New Mainers, alike. Next month she will get to participate in an election for the first time since she left East Germany as a young mother.
